Well, I guess it's time for me to give my 2 cents. I do not profess to be a great fan of doc's. I agree with many that the sheer number of his posts are too many, and it wastes board space, time and patience wading through them. More importantly, though, the outright reproduction of copyrighted stories is a serious (albeit probably civil) violation of the copyright laws. Last I checked (and I don't specialize in copyright), I think that the issue of whether simply posting a link to a news source is permissible under the copyright laws is in flux, but certainly seems less problematic in my mind. I would therefore recommend that if Doc wants to bring things to our attention, he simply give a brief description and then include a link. (and, of course, the extra effort which that may take may discourage too many posts.)
My problem with the idea of "policing" posts on the board is that it goes against the grain of my philosophy. As Voltaire (allegedly) said (paraphrasing): "I disagree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it." One of the true measures of a free and democratic society is it's ability to put up with offensive speech, of whatever nature, whether it be criticism of a government, espousing of heinous racist views, or other unpopular speech. After all, it depends upon whose ox is being gored. The problem with censorship is that SOMEONE has to be the censor, and may not like democrats, or republicans, or short people, or cat lovers, or people who can't spell, or people who seem to have nothing else to do with their lives than post every thing they can find on FlyerTalk, whether anyone else cares about it or not. It is, therefore, a job I do not choose to give to anyone, if I have any say in it, either here or elsewhere.
